Effective Tips for Facebook Ads

We’ve put together Effective Tips for Facebook Ads below to give you an idea of what Facebook can offer. While there’s still a chance to be seen organically on Facebook, paid advertising is truly the way to go. Due to the sheer volume of content on Facebook and their current News Feed algorithm, which prioritizes content similar to what the user has engaged with, organic reach is getting harder and harder.

Effective Tips for Facebook Ads Using iStock

Did you know that Facebook advertising is one of the most important tools in your bag of marketing tricks? Maybe you’ve wanted to try it out, or even did try it out, but the complexity of it overwhelmed you. It’s okay, but now it’s time to get into details.

Even with so many social platforms out there, Facebook still remains at the top with over 1 billion users. These numbers are huge and with 70% of that number logging in daily, the potential of new clients is staggering.

Facebook ads help you to be specific in your approach and offer an array of options to get your brand/products out there. And, with sites like iStock by Getty Images, creating your ads are super easy thanks to iStock’s collection of millions of hand-picked and low-cost premium images and videos.

Facebook Image Ads

These ads are single image ads that offer businesses a simple way to get users on their website. The recommended size is 1200 pixels wide by 450 pixels tall and should be made with 20% or less of copy. If your copy covers more than 20% on the image, your add may be displayed less frequently or may not be accepted by Facebook at all.

Facebook Video Ads

This type of ad requires a little more preparation but allows you to create videos that appear in your targeted users’ feeds. Don’t let the added prep deter you, videos drive greater engagement than images, making these ads more likely to be seen than ads with still images. Plus, iStock’s collection of videos make the prep incredibly simple.
